All,

Sorry that this has digressed in so many different angles and in so many
different ways... Who would have thought that something so trivial in light
of the CCIE could tie up a technical discussion list in so many different
ways!

There are other ways that I enjoy being the center of attention, but this
does not need to be one of them. So I thank all of you who sent notes in
sharing my joy (and upcoming increased lack of free time) with the list...
But the discussion should indeed end.

Let's move on to other important things like why IPv6 should be dropped from
the face of the Earth and never be used on a CCIE exam, let alone a real
network; or what specifically it is about RIP that irritates the snot out of
most people.

Don't reply and I'll consider that you have all agreed with me.

Adieu,

Allan,

Apparently you didn't see, or didn't understand if you did read, my earlier
message to Ali. If you're not a moderator, you aren't in any position to
give orders about what should and should not be on the list. You certainly
aren't in a position to set spam rules. As an associate moderator, I have to
discuss policies with the rest of the team, and Paul Borghese is the final
authority. Believe me, if I am off base here, I will hear about it from Paul
or other moderators, and I'm copying this post directly to them to be sure
they see it.

Oh -- as far as language, I don't think anyone minds calling a piece of
hardware or software crap. Referring to list members or their posts as crap
is quite another matter. Inflammatory comments to or about list members are
not welcome.

I will again explain some options, which are within the technical capability
of a CCIE candidate:
    1. Put a thread filter into your mail/news reader to ignore this thread
    2. Don't read messages in the thread if you can't do that
    3. If it's all just too much spam and you want to keep complaining,
       why not unsubscribe from this one and start your own?

I do notice someone again changed the title of the thread. PLEASE -- if the
topic of a thread changes, DO change the title. It can be awfully confusing
to know what a thread is about that started with "Urgent!"

If the topic does NOT change, PLEASE DON'T change the title so people that
have filtered it out don't have to change their filters.

Howard
